Blog Post by SunSource Homes

Kansas residential solar owners who are customers of Westar and KCP&L will see dramatic rate increases, nearly eliminating any financial benefits of going solar.

The Kansas Energy Fairness Act 2019 HB 2190/SB 124 was introduced to the Kansas House and Senate on Tuesday, February 5 by the Clean Energy Business Council in order to stop this.
